CATION where the applicant lived, and by
medical examinations. whether in fact he
has a mental or physical disability of such
a degree "a to render him unable to earn a
support And he adds that there would
not be any greater danger of fraud under
this act than under prior pension acts
indeed not so great because the only cases
in which the proposed act would he used
are those where 1t cannot be proved that
the disability arose from the service.
But assuming that it would apply to all
disabled soldiers. even in that case it would
not go aS far a. the Mexican pension bill
that President Cleveland signed, which
gives a pension not only to all disabled
soldiers of the Mexican war, but also to
perfectly well, and even well-to-do soldiers
of that war as they arrive at the age of 90
which practically covers every Mexican
soldier. How does it happen that Presi-
dent Cleveland sees no difficulty in these
provisions in a bill which benefits largely
Southcrners. while he magnifies mole hills
into mountains in a bill which benefits
Northern Union soldiers
8 Pres Cleveland objects 10 the We
toed act because il might give pension to
disabled soldier who never saw battle
and never even left the state in which he
enlisted-proyided 90 DAYS had elapsed af-
ter he was mustered in before he was dis

THE CHATSWORTH DISASTER,
The Railroad Company Has as Yet Done
Nothing Toward Settling for Damages.

Nothing Toward Settling for Damages.
Peoria special to Chicago Times.l
Mr.. f. L. Leonard, President of the To-
ledo, Peoria and Western Railway, was
asked what the company would do in the
way of settling for damages sustained at
Chatsworth. In reply he said it was i'm
possible to say as yet what the company
would do. Speaking for himself, if the
company were liable his own disposition
was to make such settlements outside of the
courts as enlightened public sentiment
would consider reasonable and just. Un-
like many companies, the ownership
of the Toledo, Peoria and Western
Railway is distributed extensively among
large number of holders; consequently
it takes time TO consult the stockholders and
ascertain their wishes. Correspondence is
now being actively conducted with them,
and the probabilities are that they will be
called together in New York as early as
possible, when they will consider all the
circumstances of the case and determine
what shall be done, and the scope of their
deliberations would probably decide
whether the company was or was not liable,
and if SO, to what extent. With those aues
tlons answered they would have to decide
how to settle claims, and how to raise the
money tc settle them with. The money
would have to be borrowed. The officers
are busily engaged getting all the facts of
the disaster and obtaining full lists of the
injured, together with the exact character
of their injuries, and all this information
and the evidence elected by the railroad
commissioners and coroner will be laid be-
fore the stockholders

THE DAIRYMAN.
Some Dairy Rules.

Don't expect to get No. milk from No.
2 feed.
Don't think the COW will be your friend
unless you are her friend.
Don't imagine you can strain manure
out of the milk; keep them separate and
save trouble.
Don't wait until the COW calves before
you "break" her; do it while she is calf
herself, and save more trouble.
Don't breed to any but ppre-brod bulls;
even 63-G4ths. Bcttor have the Gath, then
the forthcoming calf will please you.
Don't think because cows will drink out
of mud-puddle it is good enough for
them.
Don't drive them from the pasture with
dog; it saves time but wastes milk and COW.
Feed some meal at night and they will
drive themselves.
Don't set your milk in shallow pans or
crooks; get portable creamery, or, if you
cnn't afford that gust yet, have some deep,
tiat cans made, and set them in tank of
cold water. Time, labor, and cream saved
will soon enable you to buy a creamery.
Don't let your bull get as fat as seal or
half stnrye him. Take the middle course.
Don't forget the lump of rock salt.
Don't handle the bull without strong
staff. Perfectly GENTLE" is he? Then
funeral expenses.
Don't fool around the bull-pen with fem
penny nails; use twenties.
Don't churn after the butter globules
are the size of pins head.
Don't be afraid of glutting the market
with No. butter.
Don't let the calf suck the cow more
than three days. Two are better, one best.
Don't forget 10 make arrangements to
warm the water for your COWS next winter.
Don't be afraid to try small silo, or a
large one.
Don't use churn with dash in it.
Don't waste your time looking for gen.
eral-purpose COW.
Don't buy special l-purpose-milk breed
to make butter or special-purpose-b butter
breed for milk.
Don't milk at o'clock day, Z to-mor-
row, and 1880 the day after.
Don't think the COW will be jnsulted if
you give her friendly pat every time you
are within reach of her. Such pats are
returned in pats of butter.
